But secondly, we already build our profits into the deals and we made probably 160k among those 3 properties over a 3 year period of time with very little effort to manage once the tenant buyers were placed into the home.So yes, it is possible to make lease options very beneficial to everyone.YUP timing is important..

You can earn honorable discounts and fees overtime by establishing mutually beneficial partnerships with one lender or broker but squeezing them dry for a lot of hard work and not equal pay isn't something I recommend making a strategy

Traditional Landlord insurance from the typical companies like liberty mutual and statefarm or some kind of commerical insurance is better? 

Hi David, Seller financing may be beneficial only if it requires less then a 15-20% down payment and the seller financing interest rate is less than what we may offer.With most seller financing I have seen allows a borrower to refinance anytime, so make sure there is no prepayment penalty within the contract.Yes, you can always refinance out of seller financing, but the property should not be upside down in value compared to the existing mortgage balance.If you'd like to talk and pick my brain, feel free to get in touch with me.Thank YouCraig

Hey Jason, Given your situation, it would likely be more beneficial to put the real estate investment in your wife's name since the rental income would then be reported on her tax return.

I will defiantly be looking into the audible, it will be very beneficial during my down time.
